Next Day Roast
We have rash of the need for the "new"on our hands. There seems to be a passion for something to be new for to be relevant. Many are saying we need a new message or we need to repaint the message of Jesus. The new wave of promotion is about something being a secret the no one has ever discovered in God's Word or the Christianity needs to be revised for a new culture. There are some valid thoughts that have come from these promoters. However, what was cooked in the oven yesterday is sometimes even better today. I loved my mom's roast. But it was even better the next day. It had soaked all night in the gravy and it was awesome. It made a great sandwich too! Have you read what God cooked in John Owen or Jonathan Edwards dozens of years ago! The truth they shared makes a great sandwich before bed! Try reading them. You might just realized that God's word has an embedded relevance to it that has brewed and cooked in people's hearts for years. I am getting my own food from my own study. But it sure is good to sit and eat with them at a table. Go back and discover some of the "old" stuff and how good it is today! Why, it's from the WORD.
